🔗 Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir | Techdirt

A Zurich court is expected to rule on the case in March. Whatever the outcome, Palantir has already lost the only contest that matters: the one for public perception. For a company that sells the ability to see around corners, they apparently never thought to search “The Streisand Effect.”

What strikes me most about the possible futures discussed isn’t their optimism nor their missteps - it’s that most of these things could be possible today if there were sufficient open standards which the public and private sector adopted.

➕

Anyone who has read “The Entrepreneurial State” knows that these things take significant public investment.
